Nnamdi Azikiwe was born on Nov. 16, 1904, of Ibo parents in Zungeru, Northern Nigeria, where his father served as a clerk in the Nigerian Regiment. His parents gave him the name Benjamin, but he later turned it to Nnamdi. He attended school in Onitsha, Lagos, and Calabar. In 1921, when he discontinued his secondary school education, he was flowing in the languages of the three major ethnic groups of Nigeria–the Hausas, the Ibos, and the Yorubas–a significant asset for the future Nigerian nationalist. Between 1921 and 1924 he served as a clerk in the Nigerian treasury in Lagos.

In 1925 Azikiwe went to the United States to study. He visited Storer College and then Howard and Lincoln universities. He received a bachelor of arts degree in political science from Lincoln in 1931 and first degrees from Lincoln in 1932 and the University of Pennsylvania in 1933.
